Madam Speaker, the immigration backlog in this country is reaching ridiculous levels.
In Quebec alone, the average wait time is 27 months. A 27-month wait time shows a blatant lack of respect for the applicants.
The Liberals are yet again refusing to step up and are instead passing the buck to the provinces. It is the same old story.
Will the minister finally pull up his socks and speed up immigration processing to give hope to these people and at the same time support our businesses, which need workers during this labour shortage?
